“The popularity of the famous device of the use of lands into England is said to be largely due to the mendicant friars of the then new Orders of St. Dominic and St. Francis, who, arriving in this country, in the first half of the thirteenth century, found themselves hampered by their own vows of poverty, no less than by the growing feeling against Mortmain in acquiring the provision of land absolutely necessary for their rapidly developing work.” FirstsSaidCountryUseFeelingsOrderFoundHalfPovertyGrowingLandCenturyEnglandDuesDevelopingDevicesPopularityVowProvisionArrivingFriars Book:A Short History of English Law: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Year 1919 Source: A Short History of English Law: From the Earliest Times to the End of the Year 1919
“An extended stay in the wilderness inevitably directs one's attention outward as much as inward, and it is impossible to live off the land without developing both a subtle understanding of, and a strong emotional bond with, that land and all it holds.” StrongUnderstandingAttentionImpossibleLandEmotionalDevelopingSubtleWildernessInwardStrong Emotional Book:Into the Wild Source: Into the Wild
“We were land-based agrarian people from Africa. We were uprooted from Africa, and we spent 200 years developing our culture as black Americans. And then we left the South. We uprooted ourselves and attempted to transplant this culture to the pavements of the industrialized North. And it was a transplant that did not take. I think if we had stayed in the South, we would have been a stronger people. And because the connection between the South of the 20's, 30's and 40's has been broken, it's very difficult to understand who we are.” PeopleIfsThinkingYearsHas BeensCultureLeftDifficultBlackLandBrokenConnectionsStrongerSouthDevelopingWho We ArePavementTransplants Author:August Wilson

“When I was developing the [TV Series "Daredevil"] idea, we were really doing something closer to what was in the comic book. By that, I mean in terms of civilians in the street knew that superpowers were an everyday matter of fact. When it finally ended up at Netflix, they really decided to land it in the Marvel Universe that exists in the cinematic universe. That changes the story entirely. It was no longer about the other, which is what that metaphor was. It's really more about the character herself, which I love.” MeanBookIdeasMatterCharacterFactsStoriesUniverseTermStreetsLandDecidedEverydayMetaphorComicDevelopingComic BookCiviliansMatter Of FactSuperpowerCinematicNetflixDaredevil Author:Melissa Rosenberg
